Yes i meant playoff team with just as good a chance of winning as any other team that makes it to the dance. These days - as we all know - getting in is all that matters. Where you place in the top 8 - really means nothing IMO with the exception of perhaps trying to avoid a particular matchup in Round 1 (again - we all know here who that means the Flames must avoid) - and that sort of matching exercise is not necessarily resolved by simply finishing as high as possible in the standings.
